Question

In case of breaches in the canal, the escape present in the upstream of the breach is opened.

(a) False

(b) True

This question was posed to me in quiz.

The doubt is from Types of Canal Escapes in division Regulation Modules and Canal Structure of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

Right option is (b) True

Easy explanation: In case if a breach occurs in a canal then immediate information is sent to the head to close the canal supplies immediately. But the water present from head to breach will cause damage if passed through the breach. So, therefore the escape existing on the upstream of the breach is opened to allow the water through the escape.
